Toby you know me mate... I work my arse off im averaging 1 day off every 8-9 days at the moment.. working 12+ hours a day...

The Astra will be staying for the moment and the Starlet will eventually be sold once its finished...

I still have priorities.. I have my own flat with the missus and she has a child so im not exactly rich by any means just like to have something to enjoy in my down time from work and family life..

Also the mk2 is full of parts ready to fit to try and get it roadworthy but literally no time to fit any of them :(
